Fraudulent Notices of Electronic Filing

Wednesday, November 6, 2024

We want to alert you to a nationwide issue involving fraudulent Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) being sent to attorneys and law firms. These fake NEFs are phishing attempts designed to trick recipients into responding. Once a response is received, a follow-up email is sent with a link to a document that leads to a malicious website.

Please exercise caution if you receive any NEFs that seem suspicious. To ensure the authenticity of cases and documents, always verify them through CM/ECF, and refrain from downloading attachments or clicking links from unofficial or questionable sources.

Your vigilance is essential in protecting against these types of scams!
